Bilstein will be bringing its own tuned models to the Essen motor show this weekend.

Those will inlcude the Fiat 500 Abarth in 'Polizia' dress fitted with the Bilstein B14 threaded kit, an Audi R8 530 PS VLN in Bilstein livery and a VW Golf VI R20 by Rothe Motorsport with 338 PS which won the compact class this year at the Tuner Grand Prix at Hockenheimring.

The R20 is fitted with a Bilstein B16 PSS 10 threaded kit. The B14 kit on the Fiat 500 provides the petite hatch with a height adjustable suspension normally reserved for grander models. The R8 comes with Bilstein's MDS shock absorbers.

The Bilstein stand at the Essen Motor Show will also feature guest appearances from TV presenter Lina Van de Mars, as well as racing figures Hans-Joachim "Striezel" Stuck and Frank Stippler.
